We've Lost Her,

The Countess AroO Janish. the cele-
brated actress, appears In Galveston on
Friday and Saturday, playing Ssrdou's
Princess Andrea" and Alexander Du-
mas "Camille," and "Violet." The
great Austrian actress is booked for Dali
las and Houston, but what is the matter
with San Antonio that she cannot and
does not play here? Mr.. Greenwall,
who is interested 10 Galveston, Houston
and Dallas, plays this and other attrac-
tions In those cities that are not played
in San Antonio, and this Is to the city's
detriment as a theatrical centre. There
is "a bug under the chip" that requires
being ousted.

WAS IT r. B. HAYES2
An ex-Mail Route Agent of San Antonio
Said to Have Suicided in Fort
Worth.


A telegram from Fort Worth says that
on Wednesday night man about 80
years Of age, having dark hair, high
forehead and wearing spectscles, and
who was seemingly depressed, ate his
supper at the railroad dining hall, and
then passed to the rearend OF the plat
form. Soon after the report Of n pistol
was heard and, on bystanders going to
the spot they found that the man had
shot himself In the brain with a a cali
bre revolver. A doctor was sent for, but
before he could arrive the man died
without uttering a word.
When the jury was empannelled,
strange dispute occurred as to the
identity OF the deceased. Some
witnesses identified the remains
as those OF X. b. Hayes. gen.
tleman we'll known In San Antonio, who
was at one time mail agent attached
to the postoffice here, and who boarded
with Mrs. Deaton, and the description
given corresponds, but others asserted
that the deceased was W. X. Kyle, rel
alive Of J. NJ. Kyle, OF Fort Worth. The
identity WAS so confused that she jury
declined to return verdict until further
evidence WAS obtained.
